Going to Germany?

[ISeeRed]

I've been there quite a bit & Munich and Berlin would be the must-see places for me. Tons of history/culture and beer in both. Take your pick.

 

Also, if you can find out why they place a foot long schlong in a tiny bun, let me know...

 

[setreal]

Easy. Because we can.

[Remmie]

Do a bit of a tour through the country, Freiburg and Heidlburg are class little cities/big towns in the Southwest, Hamburg/Munich/Berlin have the parties and the countryside is great. Make sure you sample plenty of the Weissbier and Dunkels

I was gutted we never got to see Berlin propperly it looked so nice aswell.

[Get Carter]

Cologne is ace. I go every January for an exhibition.

 

Just after we leave there is a festival there, I think its the first weekend in February the theme of it is that the women in Cologne can do whatever they want for that day and i mean anything....A fella i knew stayed on a bit longer one year said its crackers the streets are rammed with people in fancy dress getting pissed from 8 in the morning and the birds just grab you and ram their tongues down your throat and invite you back to their hotel......thinking about it can't understand why i have never stayed longer???

[She Knows It]

I know that is not a place in Germany. I would have thought as a woman and probably a wife and mother, that you above others, would not be rude to me.

 

You are wrong Rimsting.

 

For the record, I am nobody's wife. That wasn't an invitation either.

Got a hotel booked in Hamburg for a few days mid May...............

[bigjohn]

Depends what you personally like....I love Berlin - great place and nightlife. Koln (Cologne) is good,Bavaria - especially Munich is worth a look....great country,great beer,great food and friendly people.

I love Cologne, I've been twice. I think the festival is on the main square (near the river and train station). There's a superb pub 'The Corkonian' near by run by a red called Vinnie. Also Papa Joe's is strange but ace bar.

 

GC, where do you fly from and who with? I was let down last year by TUI who changed the flight times which meant we went to Berlin instead which was superb.

[DJLJ]

Always wanted to go to the Munich beer festival, in my mind I can't imagine anything better, but I'm told it's all pretty commercial now.

 

Been twice, once about ten years ago and then last year. It is very commercial now, but still well worth a look. Was very surprised last year though, when they now have winehalls aswell as beerhalls. And no, there can never be enough beer, though I've been in the bad bad bad days of losing a couple of days on Reperbahn aswell.

[Mook]

Fancy doing a city break in the summer, just the missus and me for 2/3 nights, any ideas on where is best to go city-wise in Germany?

 

Culture during the day and bevvy at night sort of break.

[Trumo]

Hamburg and the Reeperbahn if your missus is 'open minded', or failing that, Munich fits the bill perfectly.

Hamburg is probably top of the list at the moment.

 

Apart from her deep hatred of all things German, my wife is fairly open minded.

[cloggypop]

Heidelberg is lovely. It's got a castle as well.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Hamburg is great but not one for the missus

[VladimirIlyich]

Berlin has plenty to see but is a lot like most other European cities with the same shops and all that shite. Ive heard Dresden is quite nice though.

[Furmedge]

I've done Berlin and Munich. I enjoyed Munich far more. Would love to try Hamburg as well.

[Vincent Vega]

I'm going to Berlin in June for my mate's stag do. We will be there for the England v Wales Euro 2016 match and for Germany v Poland too, hoping to watch that one at one of those fan parks.

 

Never been to Berlin before, any must dos from anyone who's been? We are there for four days.

[cloggypop]

Hansa studios!

[cloggypop]

Berlin is boss. Used to go out with a bird from there. The more creative bits seemed to be in the old east then but I haven't been for ages. The massive flea market was great on Sundays.

 

Was there one Christmas with knee high snow everywhere. Absolutely beautiful. Highlight was probably the snowball fight with riot police.
